2011 Annual Report reaching out Annual Report 2011 Who We Are The Canadian Canoe Museum, established in Peterborough, Ontario, in 1997, is a unique national heritage centre that explores and celebrates the canoe’s enduring significance to Canada. Founded on a collection of the late Professor Kirk Wipper that was over thirty years in the making, the Museum’s holdings now number more than 600 canoes, kayaks and paddled watercraft. Together they span the country from coast to coast to coast and represent many of the major watercraft traditions of Canada. The Museum’s artifacts range from the great dugouts of the First Nations of the Pacific northwest to the singular bark canoes of the Beothuk of Newfoundland; from the skin-on-frame kayaks of northern peoples from Baffin Island in the east to the Mackenzie River Delta in the northwest to the all-wood and canvas-covered watercraft manufactured by companies with names like Herald, Peterborough, Chestnut, Lakefield and Canadian. Through exhibits, stories, songs, workshops, classes and tours, the Museum shares this incomparable historic resource with the people of Canada and the world. exhibits, stories, songs, workshops, classes and tours www.canoemuseum.ca Canadian Canoe Museum Annual Report 2011 1 2011 Chair and Executive Director’s Report Board Honourary 2011 was bittersweet, marked both by the impact of Kirk Wipper’s passing and by the optimism Members Officers generated by indications that the Museum has turned a corner on its way to a sustainable and robust future. Kirk Wipper’s grand vision of the canoe as proxy for Canada is evident throughout The Jim Matthews (Chair) HRH Prince Andrew, Duke of York (Patron) Canadian Canoe Museum, but his energy and optimism were with us day-to-day as well when he Terry Guest (Vice Chair) Kirk Wipper (Founder) would bring people through for a personal tour, attend meetings and Museum events, or join Museum Bev Haun (Secretary) Shelagh Rogers (Ambassador at Large) Bill Morris (Treasurer) outings on the water. Kirk’s presence will be sorely missed. Happily, Kirk’s dream is part of the fabric of Michael Davies the Museum and his legacy lives on, even as the Museum has navigated through a flagging economy Peter Elmhirst over the last couple of years. We’re very pleased that this report details a positive financial position for Bob Hall the Museum at the close of 2011 which includes a number of significant capital expenditures. Judy Heffernan Pat Hooper The continuing challenge for the Museum will be to ensure that revenues exceed expenses. However, Michael Peterman with new programs coming on-stream all the time, new budgeting, accounting and audit mechanisms Ken Powell in place, and with expanding fundraising capacity through our Gala Committee, Major Gifts Group, Donald Ross our new Development Coordinator and with the continued generosity of our many members, donors Winfield Sifton and friends, the Museum is positioned to meet and exceed its fundraising targets for 2012. This fiscal Jim Stewart Ron Whetung health will allow us to strive toward our two main goals: first, becoming the strongest and most vibrant John Wood organization we can be; and secondly, moving, eventually, to a new national hub and home on the water in Peterborough as called for in our Strategic Plan. The “corner” the Museum turned in 2011 has to do with much internal re-building work that has been done over the last three years to strengthen the organization which has engendered the means and Staff the confidence for the Museum to offer a fresh face to the world. New graphics on the outside of the James Raffan (Executive Director) Museum are emblematic of energized and renewed engagement with the city, the province, and John Summers (General Manager) the country. The Museum is reaching out locally, regionally and nationally through innovative new Jeremy Ward (Curator) programs, through the website and through initiatives including a revitalized membership program, Christina Skuce (Development Coordinator) designed and built in 2011, that will be rolled out in the coming year. Marina Van Amerongen (Office Manager) Anthony Berardi (Manager, Marketing and That said, in the irrepressible spirit of Kirk Wipper, The Canadian Canoe Museum remains an important Information Technology) and exciting work in progress with a story to tell—with stories to tell—that is sustained, still, by the Candace Shaw (Volunteer and Event much-appreciated support of staff, volunteers, members and donors, as well as the Board, without Coordinator) which the Museum would not succeed. Carolyn Hyslop (Education Program Coordinator) Jen Burnard (Education Program Coordinator) Jim Matthews, Chair Beth Stanley (Artisan Program Coordinator) Chris Miller (Weekend Supervisor) James Raffan, Executive Director 2 Canadian Canoe Museum Annual Report 2011 www.canoemuseum.ca www.canoemuseum.ca Canadian Canoe Museum Annual Report 2011 3 A Legacy Honoured If the canoes in the Museum could talk, they would speak of their makers and the people who paddled them through their storied pasts, but many of them would also echo the voice of Kirk Wipper, The Canadian Canoe Museum’s founder and inspiration. In March 2011, Kirk “travelled on” at the age of 88. That inimitable baritone, that font of stories about where many of these canoes and kayaks came from and how they came into the collection—that voice and those stories can only be recalled now by those fortunate to have known him. At a service in The Keene United Church, family and friends remembered Kirk. Museum Executive Director James Raffan began his remarks this way: “If you are in this church, then you would know that when you head North … you eventually cross a line of magnetic uncertainty, a place where the compass needle tends to spin erratically. That’s a little like how I have felt since 11:40 p.m. last Friday night when I learned that Kirk had died. Navigation since then has been difficult because one of the principal forces that trued my personal compass is gone. You may feel similarly adrift.” In early May the Museum hosted a celebration of Kirk’s life and work. In a series of moving tributes, led by Kirk’s daughter Joanna, his younger son David, and his wife Ann, people from all the many walks of Kirk’s life filled the Museum with stories, songs, tears and laughter at the memorial service. Those present affirmed publicly to the assembly and privately We hope that Kirk’s credo “To know, to care, to act” will to one another in fellowship and conversation before or after the service the indelible effect that “Captain Kirk” had on stay central in all our hearts as we remember his laugh, individuals, on canoeing and camping organizations and, of his commitment and his passion and work to keep course, on his most significant and lasting legacy on earth, The his memory and his legacy alive. Canadian Canoe Museum. The Museum is preparing an exhibit that will celebrate the life of the founder and the story of how one man amassed a collection of canoes that tell a unique story of Canada. We hope that Kirk’s credo “To know, to care, Kirk Albert Walter Wipper 1923 - 2011 to act” will stay central in all our hearts as we remember his laugh, his commitment and his passion and work to keep his memory and his legacy alive. 4 Canadian Canoe Museum Annual Report 2011 www.canoemuseum.ca www.canoemuseum.ca Canadian Canoe Museum Annual Report 2011 5 Audiences Served The staff and programs offered at The Canadian Canoe Museum are of the highest quality and meet Students the expectations of many curriculum areas.

  • A Tornado Scenario for Barrie, Ontario
    A Tornado Scenario for Barrie, Ontario by: David A. Etkin (corresponding author) Adaptation and Impacts Research Group, Environment Canada Institute for Environmental Studies, University of Toronto 33 Willcocks St., Toronto, Ontario, M5S 3E8 [email protected] Soren E. Brun North Carolina Dep’t. of Transport GIS Unit Solomon Chrom Faculty of Environmental Studies, York University Pooja Dogra Institute for Environment Studies, U. of T. July 2002 ICLR Research Paper Series – No. 20 (A contribution to the Canadian Natural Hazards Assessment Project) INTRODUCTION A natural disaster occurs when an environmental extreme triggers social vulnerabilities. The magnitude of the resulting impact is then a function of the intensity of the environmental extreme coupled with a society’s perception and adaptation to the hazard (Blaike et al., 1994). An examination of risk should therefore be composed of two parts: one part relating to the probability of a natural hazard occurring, while the second relates to the magnitude of the resulting impact (which depends upon the vulnerability of the exposed infrastructure and population). Various studies such as Hague (1987), Paul (1995a,b), Etkin et al. (1995; 2001), Paruk and Blackwell (1994) and Newark (1983), have explored the probability of tornado occurrence in Canada; while other (Lawrynuik et al, 1985; Allen, 1986, Carter et al., 1989; Charlton,et al., 1998) have discussed the impacts of individual Canadian tornadoes. Globally, Canada ranks second, after the United States, in tornado risk. The purpose of this paper is to focus on the second part of the problem - that is, the impact/vulnerability aspect. In order to accomplish this, this paper will briefly review historical tornado impacts, consider one tornado disaster in more detail (the May 31, 1985 Barrie Tornado), and consider a hypothetical scenario of how it might have been worse, had events transpired somewhat differently (ie.
